'Cyber Sovereignty' ? Yes!



People's Liberation Army researchers predict countries will have to sign an accord like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to forestall conflict

Two People's Liberation Army researchers have compared cyber warfare with nuclear warfare and described cyber defence as a crucial component of national defence.



Ye Zheng and Zhao Baoxian , researchers at the PLA's Academy of Military Sciences, wrote in an article about cyber warfare in China Youth Daily yesterday that China would call for the international community to establish "cyber territory" and defend "cyber sovereignty".


"But we must see that the world's peace-loving people and governments will take actions to resist the escalation of cyber conflict and the associated arms race. It is likely that they will reach a cyber non-proliferation treaty like the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty to lock up the Pandora's box," they wrote.



Ye and Zhao said the US had been behind many cyber conflicts in recent years that had generated "enormous shocks and repercussions around the world".

With the United States threatening to retaliate against cyber sabotage by traditional military means such as missiles, "governments and militaries of every country worry about being caught unprepared, building up their arms for cyber warfare at full throttle," Ye and Zhao wrote.



"The phantom of cyber warfare is hovering above human society, the clouds of war are darkening."



Xu Guangyu , a retired PLA general and a researcher at the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association, said the notions of "cyber territory" and "cyber sovereignty" referred to the need for international treaties on cyber warfare.



"National borders and national sovereignty in cyberspace are quite different from those that we are familiar with in the real world," Xu said. "Instead of being defined by physical properties such as longitude and latitude, they are more like a set of rules that countries agree upon.

"That's why countries need to sit down and talk. That's why we need an international treaty."



The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that the Pentagon had concluded in its first formal but yet-to-be-published cyber strategy that computer sabotage coming from another country could be considered an act of war, to which the US could respond with traditional military force.



Mainland and foreign security experts say the world urgently needs an international treaty to prevent the escalation of cyber war and an arms race in cyber space.



Professor Jing Jiwu , deputy director of the State Key Laboratory of Information Security, said cyber sovereignty and establishing cyber territory was feasible with the use of technology such as firewalls.



Xu said the US was leading the world in the wrong and dangerous direction of a cyber space arms race by ignoring other countries' needs for national security and threatening military action against anyone attempting to challenge its dominance in cyber space.



Xu said the treaty could cover a wide range of issues. For instance, each country should have the right to a certain degree of "sovereign space" and the right to appeal to an international body if they suspected another country was infringing on that space. The suspected country should also have an opportunity to defend itself against such charges.



Michael Rake, chairman of BT Group, one of the world's largest telecoms companies, based in Britain, also called for a cyber treaty, Associated Press reported. Speaking at a cyber security forum in London, Rake said it was "critical to try to move towards some sort of cyber technology nonproliferation treaty". (By Stephen Chen)

world issue

The US has an unqualified stance to retaliate, and it would not be tolerated by anyone.  If the US makes this statement, it sets the stage for manipulation of military action and catastrophic errors.  In reality, we all know that cyber-attacks can be directed and routed to obfuscated sources to "paint a target".  We have seen other cases where the US would swear and be damned that other countries were a significant threat to the world.  We can't let this mentality apply to unqualified and elusive evidence in cyber-space.  WWW means "world-wide web".  It's a world issue.
